20 Years of water
EXPANSION work is now complete on the Villajoyosa drinking water treatment plant.
The total capacity of the installations has been increased by 73 per cent, guaranteeing the supply for 50,000 residents double the current population of the town for the next 20 years.
As well as increasing the quantity of stored water, work has also focused on improving the quality, with new filter and disinfection systems and waste product treatment technology.
In addition, the plant has been made energetically selfsufficient by installing solar panels that will prevent the emission of 9.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Villajoyosa mayor Andreu Verdú visited the site this week, accompanied by Town Planning and Water councillor Pedro Alemany.
“This was an essential project to satisfy the demand for drinking water in Villajoyosa and to continue to maintain the high quality of service,” said Sr Alemany.
Regarding the solar panel installation, Mayor Andreu Verdú said it is part of a series of measures carried out by the council to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions through actions based on sustainable development.”
